Sargeant Families Blog - December 1st

IB Corner 
December's Attribute: Balanced
Students who are BALANCED are healthy and are aware that eating properly and exercising is important in their lives.  They understand that is important to have a balance between the physical and mental  aspects of their bodies.  


How can families help at home?


  • Role model this attribute by:
    • Playing outside
    • Going to the park
    • Making  dinner together
    • Reading a book
    • Playing  a board game
    • Going on a walk
    • Doing chores as a family

Kind Kids Club 
Today we kicked off the Kind Kids Club with kindergarten.  We brainstormed ways to be kind at school and at home.  Ask your child about it this weekend.  
Students showing kindness in kinder get to wear one of our Kindness Capes

Yearbook Pictures
Soon it will be time to start gathering pictures for this year's yearbook.  Please keep photos from classroom activities you attend in order to share them with the classroom teacher. 

Safety and Driving
Please make sure you are following traffic laws as you drop off and pick up your child at school.  We understand that mornings can be hectic, so please allow for plenty of time to get your child to school on time.  We have had some reports of drivers illegally passing others to get to the drop off sooner and it puts our kids in danger.  Please be aware of drivers, walkers, and bike riders.  We want everyone to be safe.  


PTC Update 
Please check out the most recent newsletter from PTC with dates and information for December.

Many of you know, one of our 4th grade students, Nestor Boscan, passed away unexpectedly on November 26. He leaves behind his parents and a 3 year old sister. Needless-to-say, his family is devastated. Nestor's family has only been in the United States for just over a year, and they have no family members in this country.  Your outpouring of kindness has been a blessing to them. They know that Nestor was well-liked by his peers and the staff, and this is of great comfort to them.

Below are the funeral arrangements for Nestor, which are being handled by Lambert Funeral Home on Douglas Blvd in Roseville. The family welcomes your love and support and are open to talking about Nestor.

Hopefully, as many people as possible can attend the Memorial Service on December 14. If you can attend, please let Mrs. Rainey know at srainey@rcsdk8.org. The church is providing the food, and we need to get a rough estimate of people. CHILDREN ARE WELCOME AT THE MEMORIAL SERVICE.

People have asked about how they can help or support the family... 
Provide a flower arrangement for the Memorial Service (as a group or as an individual). Mom would like JOYFUL flowers. Flowers can be sent to the church the MORNING of December 14.

Provide a meal for the family: https://mealtrain.com/r3memd
